Dev D is a modern-day interpretation of the classic novel "Devdas" by Sarat Chandra. Dev, Paro and Chanda of Dev D reflect the sensibilities, conflicts, aggression, independence, free thought, exuberance and recklessness of the youth of today. A generation that is jammed between eastern roots and western sensibilities. Begins in the rustic and colorful Punjab, the movie goes on to explore the dingy, morbid, dark underbelly of Delhi. From sprawling mustard fields to a riot of neon, from earthly Punjabi ballads to mayhem in rock, it is a fascinating journey not to be missed.
